Hoppers Crossing to get off-leash dog park

Cambridge Reserve in Hoppers Crossing will be the home of a new off-leash dog park.

The $450,000 park will have secure fencing with double gates to provide peace of mind for owners, and a drinking fountain to keep furry friends cool and hydrated.

It will also include an active zone equipped with agility equipment for energetic dogs, a new path network linking into the existing paths, as well as landscaping and new bench seating which will aims to create a welcoming space for both dogs and their owners.

Mayor Mia Shaw said it is important to provide high quality open spaces.

“Creating spaces like this exciting new dog off-leash park enhances Wyndham’s liveability and brings the community together to support healthy and active lifestyles,” she said.

Grange Ward councillor Shannon McGuire praised the development.

“This is a fantastic addition to the Cambridge Reserve, providing the Hoppers Crossing community with high quality amenities that they can enjoy with their beloved pets.”

Construction is underway and is expected to be complete by mid- 2025.
